+How to port an I2C driver to driver model
+=========================================
Over half of the I2C drivers have been converted as at November 2016. These
ones remain:
- adi_i2c
- davinci_i2c
- fti2c010
- ihs_i2c
- kona_i2c
- lpc32xx_i2c
- pca9564_i2c
- ppc4xx_i2c
- rcar_i2c
- sh_i2c
- soft_i2c
- zynq_i2c

The deadline for this work is the end of June 2017. If no one steps
forward to convert these, at some point there may come a patch to remove them!
